In terms of federal-provincial jurisdiction, there's absolutely a need for additional resources, particularly in the workforce. To think that we ought to transfer substantial resources without ensuring that across the country we have some reasonable, at least minimum, standards around education and care hours, care quality and the quality of life of residents, seems perhaps to fall short of what we ought to be doing.
Many of us believe that we need to have a co-operative federal, provincial and territorial effort that neither tramples on people's jurisdictional rights nor falls short of demanding that certain standards be met before transfers are made.
I'll open with that and see what the others have to say.
